(This was before surgery--all nice and happy, he humored me as I took pictures in this shower cap... they are only for the nurses, but I was playing Merideth and made him put it on!)
Today Andy had surgery on his left knee. For those of you who didn't know he tore his meniscus and his ACL. They thought that they only needed to repair his ACL and the meniscus would heal on its own. So we got their at 2:30 for a 3:30 30 minute ACL fix. Unfortunately once they opened him up they realized that there was much more damage then they expected. The quick 30 minute surgery turned into a 2 1/2 hour surgery. They were unable to repair one of his meniscus because it was too heavily damaged and the ACL was in shreds. But alas, all is well now. When Andy woke up he was not very with it. Every time he opened his eyes he would say, "Oh hi sweetie" as if I had just arrived. On the way home he started singing, "Sippy Jug, Sippy Jug" (to the tune of smelly cats) then he proceeded to tell me that Dr.Seuss was his anesthesiologist. He is pretty out of it tonight and hopefully I can keep the pain from coming so tomorrow won't be so bad! A BIG Thank you to John and Jane for coming out and helping tonight. I'm not sure I could have gotten him in and out of my car without them!!
A little Ben & Jerry's never hurt!!

Ohh that is so funny the stuff he was saying!!! My brother was the same way when he came out from being under. He was laughing his head off at everything. I'm glad he's doing okay! And you're the best nurse anyone could ever have, so I'm sure he's doing fine. I love you darling!
